AKB48 is a relatively new cannabinoid that I received a free 250mg sample of when I ordered some methoxetamine from an online vendor recently. I've had plenty of experiences with cannabis and various smoking blends, but since I've given up smoking, I decided to try taking the cannabinoid powder orally.

This is a warning to anyone using or wanting to try branded substances (aka spice, or diablos, or any am-hi-co shit) Background: I've been interested in drugs starting with weed since age 12.
Bluelight 3 threads 3 neutral visit
I have had a fair amount of experience with drugs; Cannabis, different prepacked spice blends (Mr. Nice guy, Kush, Kush Max, Bonzai winter boost), Coke, Crack, Bath Salts, Diphenhydramine, Oxycontin, Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Xanax and probably quite a few more, but those come right off the top of my head.
Before I begin, I should stress the likely inaccuracy of the timings; the nature of this particular drug seems to be that 2-3 minutes after first signs of onset, one will have forgotten >95% of any preceding thoughts.
I'm a male of 165 lbs 5'8" with an extreme tolerance towards all substances Last night i made my first recipe using noids I only used a gram of 5F-AKB48 in one whole stick of land o lakes butter (this is best due to its high fat content).
